Our new Canadian overlords

The only reason that George Bush gets to look like he's doing financial crisis meetings on a weekend with Nicolas Sarkozy and Jose Manuel Barroso at Camp David is that both men were already in Quebec City for the Canada-EU Summit, with Sarko already planning on staying on for the Francophone summit. So it's a short hop down to Maryland for the inevitable ride in "Golf Cart 1". But no Canada, no Bush meeting with the EU principals.
